Guido is speaking at a Westminster Skeptics event tonight on whether political blogging actually makes – or will make – any difference to the course of UK political events. Guido’s view is that the question has already been answered.
This graphic from ConservativeHome’s survey of Tory PPCs illustrates where influence lies nowadays. The next Prime Minister and Chancellor of Britain are avid readers of blogs. Does that signify influence, does that make a difference?
On the panel with Guido are ConservativeHome’s Jonathan Isaby, Comrade Hundal from Liberal Conspiracy and Mick Fealty from Slugger. The event will take place at The Old Monk Exchange pub just 100 yards away from St James Station.
Head charge of £2. The panel discussion starts at 7.30pm. (Facebook event page is here.)

“A year later, I gotta ask the supporters of all that, ‘How’s that hopey, changey thing working out for ya?’ “
Award for the most obscure story in this morning’s papers has to go to The Telegraph. Apparently Gordon is cutting down his intake of Kit-Kats, and replacing them with bananas. Sources close to the Prime Minister’s snacking preparation confirmed that he will now only eat Kit-Kats when under “extreme-pressure”. So that must be fairly frequently then.
Gordon better watch out though, too many bananas can have a dangerous effect. Eating up to nine bananas a day, such as the Prime Mentalist is reported to be doing, can cause a build up of potassium. This can cause gastrointestinal problems, kidney failure or even cardiac arrest.
It is not known whether David Miliband has decided to try a different type of coup.
